I'm feeling nice so I'll actually tell you.

I'm guessing that you've passed the first disc and so you've missed three times to recruit Sephiroth (Junon Harbour, Rocket Town hotel and Kalm).

First of all, you'll need at least one of the 1/35 Soldiers that appear throughout the game, you'll need the replica Masamune available from Golden Saucer (and frankly if you can't manage to get this, then you don't deserve to use Sephiroth) and the Mime materia.

First of all, ensure that you're on Disc 3 and the only people in your team are Aeris and Cloud. Equip Aeris with the Mime materia. Now, at this point, you'll need to return to Midgar so go to the Bone Village and dig up the key to reenter the slums. Work your way through the slums until you find that bloke in the pipe. Press square to challenge him to a came of Tetra Master/Triple Triad (the game you get depends on whether you're playing the PAL or the NTSC version of the game). Lose this game four times, win your fifth game and lose your sixth. He'll comment on how to beat the game, your fighting ability will need to be better than your card playing abilities. Tell him, using the name entry screen, that your fighting is worse. Sometimes it takes a few times to actually challenge him, so just keep pressing square until it works. If not, then refer to a reputable site like Wikipedia to check you're doing it right.

He'll relay you some SPECIFIC COORDINATES. Now you'd normally just put these into the Highwind computer, but since the ty developers didn't do that, you'll have to follow my instructions. Fly to Golden Saucer and fly due south-south-west for six miles. Turn 19 degrees and travel for a further sixteen miles. The game will cut away to a cut scene and Aeris will say something ridiculous. Use your mime materia to copy what she said and she'll accuse you of not taking her seriously. Out of the shadows, Sephiroth will appear and urge you to take him seriously. He'll use his powers to send you to Rocket Town seven years before. During this short interlude it's possible to recruit Shera, but I don't normally bother. There's plenty of threads on that anyway. Go into the hotel and you'll see Sephiroth there, attacking the patron. Aeris will shout about how bad it is and he'll charge at her with himself his sword. He'll stop just short and ask what he's doing wrong.

THIS NEXT BIT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Ensure that you give the following answers in this order:

"Tell that to the people of Nibelheim."
"You were my hero!"
"What do you mean?"
"Tifa's available for a quick one if you fancy"
"No one is pure evil."
"Our friendship has pulled us through"
"Face your demons"
"Join us"
"..."
and when he asks where you intend to go next on your journey, DO NOT PICK THE NORTH CRATER. This will cause the game to freeze. Instead, pick "The Honey Bee Inn."

What follows next is a bit risqué, but I think after that hard work recruiting Sephiroth, you deserve it.
